This wood frame structure on Cliff Street in Wawanesa, in the Municipality of Oakland-Wawanesa, was built in 1892. It became a Union Church in 1912 and a United Church in 1925. The first wedding ceremony performed in the church, in August 1896, was between Nellie Letitia Mooney and Robert Wesley McClung. A plaque commemorating this event is displayed outside the building, which has been converted to a private residence.
